Can the hall sensor be oriented sideways towards the magnets?

Yes, it is possible. The Hall sensor is a type of sensor used to detect magnetic fields. It can measure the strength and direction of the magnetic field near it. When positioned sideways towards a magnet, the Hall sensor can still sense the magnetic field's influence and generate a corresponding electrical signal output. However, the sensor's sensitivity and output may be affected by the sideways orientation. This is because the active area of the sensor is typically on its front face, and the angle between the sideways orientation and the magnetic field lines is larger. Therefore, when detecting from the side, the sensitivity of the sensor might be reduced, leading to weaker output signals. If you require more accurate measurements, it's recommended to place the magnet within the sensor's active area, which is typically the front face of the sensor, to ensure optimal measurement results.

Hall sensors can be fitted with a variety of materials and specifications of magnets, the figure below shows neodymium round magnets.

How far apart is the Hall sensor side to side with the magnet magnet?

Hall sensor and magnet spacing is related to the magnet strength, a strong magnet may cause significant sensor output changes over a longer distance, while a weaker magnet may require a closer distance to produce a detectable effect.
